As part of our TalkingPoints platform, we asked supporters on 67 Hail Hail how they would feel about signing Callum Wilson.

Signing a striker is the priority for the Hoops this winter after seeing numerous options tried and tested in the number nine role.

As it stands, Johnny Kenny is the only recognised forward fit and ready to play.

A deal for Kyogo Furuhashi is unlikely according to Martin O’Neill but Wilson is a free agent and ready to join another club.

Alan Stubbs thinks the former West Ham United striker would suit the Bhoys more, but how do you guys feel according to our TalkingPoints debate?

67 Hail Hail fans divided on signing Callum Wilson

The 33-year-old has had a stop-start few years due to injury.

After leaving Newcastle United in the summer, he left to join West Ham but has found his contract cut short early.

By no means a long-term signing, he could come in and fill the void until the end of the season, but the idea of committing to him has left the fanbase split down the middle.

One fan wrote: “He has proven he can score goals and he is miles better than what we have presently.”

Another said: “Yes. We need power up front. Plenty of good football but no end product.”

This person commented: “Anyone who says they would rather have Kyogo is insane The guy couldn’t wait to leave and has since been at two clubs and hasn’t scored. Last season with us he was terrible. Why would we take him back?”

Meanwhile, this supporter said: “No. He’s far too injury prone.”
